Dave Meder
A highly regarded pianist, Dave Meder is known for his harmonically sophisticated approach to post-bop and modern creative jazz. Influenced by jazz icons like Thelonious Monk, Jaki Byard, and Bill Evans, as well as classical modernists like Philip Glass, Meder first garnered attention in the 2010's while attending NYU and Juilliard. Following his move to the University of North Texas, where he holds the position of Assistant Professor of Jazz Piano, he issued his 2019 debut album Passage.
Born in 1990 and raised in Tampa, Florida, Meder studied classical piano growing up. By middle school, he was talented enough to start teaching his own private lessons. It was also while in middle school that he formed a school jazz band with several classmates, a passion he would continue to explore throughout his teens. After high school, he studied music, as well as Spanish and political science at Florida State University. There, he further honed his jazz skills mentored by pianist Marcus Roberts and took part in the 2011 Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program at the Kennedy Center, and the 2011 Steans Music Institute at the Ravinia Festival. In 2013, he won the Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition (aka The Great American Jazz Piano Competition). Also that year, he graduated summa cum laude from FSU and moved to New York. There, he earned his master's degree from NYU, and eventually received an Artist Diploma from Juilliard. He also studied privately with such luminaries as Fred Hersch, Kenny Barron, Dave Douglas, and others. Since 2018, he has held the position of Assistant Professor of Jazz Piano at the University of North Texas. In 2019, he issued his debut solo album, Passage, featuring guest appearances by saxophonists Chris Potter and Miguel Zenón.
